Question

Is there scientific evidence that sleeping with night lights during naps can lead to early puberty, delayed development, or myopia in babies? Is it really not okay to sleep with the lights on at night?

Answer

Firstly, this viewpoint lacks scientific evidence and is not entirely accurate. When using night lights, it’s important to keep the light dim and not shine directly at the baby, which will not affect the child’s eyesight. In fact, having a night light is not only unlikely to cause the concerns you have but also convenient for adults to observe the baby, such as changing diapers at regular intervals, checking if the blanket has been kicked off, or if a new diaper is needed. These are suggestions for the question of “sleeping with night lights during naps leading to early puberty in babies.” I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
